There are a lot of the foot parts that are needed to remember it. The cuboid is an important small bone on the outside of the foot just in front of the heel bone. It is important as it acts as a pulley for the tendon of the peroneus longus muscle from the outside of the leg. The tendon passes underneath the cuboid bone on its way to the other side of the foot. As it is a pulley, it needs to be very stable. It is no use moving when the muscle contracts. If it does move it can strain the joints around the cuboid. If this does happen, a cuboid manipulation is often needed to put the bone back in its place. You see, that it is much important to know its benefits in order to correct it.
